Booked by 1 family in Ostrander, OH

I have worked as a classroom assistant for childcare center from 2[removed]. I helped teachers supervise children during play, implement lessons, and help during bathroom/diapering. I worked with ages 6 weeks to 6 years-old. I have a BA in Psychology and also hold a MSW and was a child and family therapist for 10 years. Currently, I am transitioning to focus on writing and music career, and would like part time work to support myself. I'm flexible, independent, and fun. I believe in making children feel safe above all things. I love music, art, dance, and games and share those activities with children. I am dancer with education and teaching experience in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and musical theater. I have play piano and bass currently.

It’s our first time working with Angelique. So far our 1 and 2 year old didn’t fuss. They played with her and did not cry

I have been working with and taking care of animals for years, and pick up watching any critters when it fits in a full time schedule. Very attentive, detail oriented and reliable. Organized and orderly, able to adapt to your system and keep up with the house or farm.

Hi! My name is Sydney and I recently moved to Columbus, OH from Charlotte, NC. I have spent the past 4 years nannying for 3 families in Charlotte while getting my B.S. in psychology. I am entering a graduate program for Human Developmental and Family Sciences at Ohio State University this fall and hoping to find a family to babysit or nanny for! I have experience with infants, toddlers, and older children. I am easy-going, have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and absolutely love time with children! I also have 4 years of pet sitting services as well.

Booked by 1 family in Ostrander, OH

Hi! I’m Alanna — a dependable and caring nanny with several years of experience supporting children from newborn through early elementary ages. I’m currently a full-time nanny for a wonderful 2½-year-old in Upper Dublin, and I truly love what I do. 💛 I use the Juggle app for babysitting for it has a lot more jobs available. I do use this app as an extra avenue, but not as active:) I previously nannied for a family with five children (ages newborn–6), which helped me grow a strong skill set in multitasking, patience, and staying engaged with multiple little personalities at once. I focus on routines, safety, kindness, and turning everyday moments into learning opportunities. Since I finish work between 3-5PM Monday through Friday, I’m available most evenings and weekends for additional care or date nights. I’m new to Columbus and excited to meet more great families through UrbanSitter! A little about me: • CPR & First Aid certified • Reliable 3rd-row Honda Pilot with toddler seat + booster installed • Comfortable with pets (especially dogs!) • Competitive volleyball background — love keeping kids active and moving • Big reader and enjoy incorporating books/storytime into routines • Currently studying Business Management Technologies online • Exploring real estate on the side — very driven and goal-oriented I always do my best to bring positivity, structure, and genuine care into each home. I’m looking forward to helping your family and getting to know your kiddos!

Good listener, asks smart questions and is very caring. My son had a great time and the whole night time routine was done to the letter.
